Rob Peters Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Nice Tony..... it is a little confused though. It looks like 71/72 headlight bezels and 72 hood spear. You are right, the guy does good work, I really like it. rob Quote
willie Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Looks really good Tony!!! How do we stretch it to be correct size???? Quote

You are right, the guy does good work, I really like it. rob That’s just how Ertl made these cars. They only wanted to do one mold for the main body so they had to pick one or the other headlight styles. They likely picked the square headlights since it was on 2 of the three years. Dave Mau actually consulted with Ertl when they were making prototypes. They took some of his suggestions but not all. This Backyard Conversions simply takes one of the Ertl cars and customizes it as a convertible. Probably uses Ertl Chevelle parts... just like real life. Quote
